removed the factory running boards. Sorry, bad pic

The Sierra is Better Looking IMO  :D

Then again, I may be Biased LOL

Congrats on the new ride!

What's your lift setup?

Never been a Dodge fan but I thought the ram 1500 was supposed to have a more plush ride than the GM twins. Not the case?

4 in BDS lift, Fox shocks, 2in spacers on the rear, 35x12.5x22 nitto ridge grapplers

Ditched the Pro-Comps for some OEM GMC Sierra 18's  Wasn't feeling the black wheel look. Perhaps if I dechrome it would work, but the most I'm planning on doing is the mirror caps and door handles in silver.

Looks good! I like those GMC wheels. I have the same color and in my opinion black wheels don't look all that great on silver. I'm thinking about going with machined 17" Method wheels like this

I was very close to pulling the trigger on the Method 301 - Standard (Machined),  but the GMC wheel deal was too good to pass on! 

*IF* I ever lift this truck, the machined Method will be my wheel of choice, but only if I need the room.

I need running boards, mud flaps, bigger rims and some steps. Maybe a cover too. I think that'll dress it up a bit. So far I love the truck! Picked it up yesterday 2018 LT double cab 5.3. I also love it's ability to stick to my driveway when it's turned on it's side.

The optional Spider-Man package.......:)

I've been looking on Craigslist every day for some decent 17" or for a really good deal maybe 18" factory wheels. I usually don't mind the factory styling and yours are about as good as it gets. I want to soften up this NHT ride a bit so I'm not constantly jarring the truck with every seam in the road. I'm thinking a 17" tire for a nice cushy tall sidewall and P rated tires. 

My Fallen Wildpeak AT/W's have performed as good as any tire I've ever had on a truck. I'm thinking even though they are only a extra load passenger tire and I run them about 28-30 # it's 20" wheels and low profile . That and stiffer springs in the rear. 

I don't remember my 2003 GMC 2500 HD riding this stiff. Of course I had D rated 285/75/16  Goodyear MTR's on it. 

I really miss those tires.

Got a new Z Series installed today. Even came with touch up paint that they actually sprayed the top with. Too bad car companies can’t do that.

I did the same with my 2015 Crew, same wheels with some Toyo Open Country 34.6" tires.  Really like the look of those wheels on my Brownstone 4x4.

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
